Video and Audio De-Sync / Resolution Shrink

I downloaded a video from YouTube that I wanted to use for a video essay project. Downloaded it in 1080p resolution, and double checked it on Windows Media Player. Video works fine, looks fine, sounds fine.

I upload it to use in Premiere, and suddenly the resolution has shrunk to possibly less than 144p, and the audio is about a second ahead the video. I don't understand.

Even in the preview tab in Premiere, the video and audio are de-synced. All this leads me to believe Premiere doesn't like something about this video specifically. Not sure what to do.

Any help is welcome. Thanks.

Many users are having issues with VFR. If the file is variable frame rate, use Handbrake to convert to constant frame rate before importing into Premiere Pro:

Here is a tutorial:

Shutter Encoder may also be used to convert to Constant Frame Rate:
